OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY Viceebs is the matter with the Cincinnati papers T Book notices and various other editorial matter on second page this morning. The Allen-Hogan mill and the Loving-Wirth mill appear sido.by side in the Cincinnati papers. ' The Toledo Blade has a terrible European correspondent, who unloads three columns at a time, and is nearly as dull aa the Gazette's Pilgrim. TWEED is at laBi conyicieu anu bcu-tenced, notwithstanding the pathetic appeals of his counsel, and the sympathy dodge, and everything elso that craft or skill could suggest. . Lee & Bhepard, Boston, announce a new Novel by a new author a gentleman of considerable prominence in Hamilton county politics D. Thew Wright esq., of the Cincinnati bar. His book is called "Mrs. Armington's Ward , or the Inferior Sex." ; The Cincinnati Commercial goads the Toledo Blade to madness, perhaps unintentionally, with this paragraph: Ttin "mnrvelniu orowth" of Columbus and Indianapolis is attracting the attention of the country. "Cheap coal" in the vitalizer of those cities. We have a number of .letters, from esti. mable cititens, some very peppery, on the Loving-Wirth fight in the Board of M cation. We do not see that anything more is needed as an expression of public indignation, at present. The matter is in danger of occupying more space than is comfortable or proper, for matter of that character. . The widow of Edwin M. Stanton died, Tnesdav. at the suburban Villa near Washington presented to her by subscriptions after her husband's death. Mrs, Stanton's attachment to her husband was of an unusually tender and affectionate character, and she has never recovered entirely from the shock of his death. Edwin L. Stanton, the surviving son and representative of the family, is a promi' nent member of the Washington bar. - The Toledo Blade says : The Columbus Sunday News claims that that city is overrun witn loaiers, aeau beats and mechanics out of work, who have been drawn there from distant cities bv leading" the State Journal's article on the prosperity of Columbus. The News, as a verdant truth-teller, is a thorn in the side of the State Journal. We assure the dead beat of the Blade that the "verdant truth-teller" of the News is mistaken. The loafers and dead beats of distant cities are not subscribers to the State Journal, to any great extent.We have often said that The Christian Union Henry Ward Beecber's paper is the eery bett weekly paper we have ever read what can we say more? When we began saying it, The Christian Union had less than two dozen subscribers at the Columbus postoffice now it has the larjett lilt of any pMieaium rtcmnd for ditlribv-(ion by mail at tint ofiee. Which, we take it, is pretty good evidence of two things 1. That the paper is what we have stated it to be ; and 2. That our statements on the subject have been credited by towns men, as at least candid statements of opinion. Alas 1 we Americana are not verv an. cient after all. though we have our centennial and bi-centennial celebrations. It makes ns feel extremely juvenile to read of the people of the Isl of Ely getting ready to observe the twelve hund redth anniversary of the foundation of their cathedral.

It 1b a fine thing for the rising genera-tion that we Have In on Sohool Board some gentlemen who uphold and Illustrate the forms of that mere robust'eivili-zattori which once prevailed ltf the West andtSouthwest, and which is gradually losing its hold npo our enervated and effeminate people. In earlier times, in most Western and Southwestern villages, there was an apoBile of muscle, who kept alive that feeling of respect for manly: strength and masoullne vigor, without which nations sink into indolenoe, luxury and effeminacy. This apostle "was expected at all times to be ready to Bite,gou8ei knock down and drag out any presumptuous individual who came among our forefathers with any of that air of what is bo accurately and characteristically described by Mr. Sparkler as "bigodd nonsense." Our forefathers wouldn't stand any "bigodd nonsense," from interlopers who sought to introduce among them any new fangled notions from the outside world. If any such came among them, " putting on airs," the apostle was expected to take him in hand and dress him down to a proper level. In every southwestern community one would find this fine old gentleman of the olden time, roaring up and down the public streets with his shirt open and his manly breast (all hairy with virile strength) thrown out to public contemplation, as he champed and pawed and howled up and down the streets for somebody to "whale" some Cellar with stuck up notions to be shook out of him some "derned bluebellied Yankee" or other peddler of enervating book Iarnin, whose viscera (if our effeminate modern read ers will excuse us, they called them in those days, "guts,") the apostle could tear out and scatter over his infernal deed blanked doubledeed and superhyperblank-ed carcass. Such a noble old specimen of incarnate muscular force and energy as this could not fail to keep before the youth of the time the necessity and beauty of physical development, and create in their minds a popular scorn for such weak and effeminate things as politeness, courtesy, intellectual development, and the like. It might have involved a suspicion of weakness for our apostolic muscular friend to have been polite to anybody it would have shown a disposition to " knuckle down" which he would have scorned as worthy only a member of some of the learned professions, It is this noble being and this robust civilization which we are indebted to some members of the School Board for reviving and keeping alive among us, lor tne con templation of the youth of the city. And we must do these gentlemen the justice to say that they do not show any disposition to stop halfway in the renaissance.. They Hive u me gcueral manners end customs, as well as the muscular manifestations, proper to the period. There is a notion abroad at the present period that it is inv polite and ungentlemanliko to smoke in a parliamentary body, during the progress of business. There are some who even go to far as to object to the right of a free citizen to chew and to sputate wherever he chooses, - In olden times, in that' part of "Qoddlemlghty's green earth" we have been speaking of (one falls insensibly into the style of the period in speaking of it) it would have been considered the deadliest insult to in timate any sense of uneasiness or displeas ure with any gentleman who squirted his tobacco juice past your eyes, nose, mduth or ear, or on your floors, in your dining room at table, over your wife's best dress, or wherever his royal will determine. It was a point of honor to be able to bit the mark with a well directed discharge of half a bucketful, at a distance of sev eral yards. As an admirerof tho good old times, it Is due Irotn us to say in favor of the present, that there are still gentlemen among ns who exercise some pf these gifts in ordinary public places, and who make it as much as a dress is worth for any of the weaker sex to appear there, This is a proper manifestation of man's royal prerogative which cannot but give great satixfaction to all real genuine lovers of the good old times. There are still gentlemen who have, enough of the old contempt for weak things to continue chewing and making manly slops and pools of odorous saliva, by the tubful, not only in all places ot public entertain. ment, whether for man or beast, but in all parlors and places of private resort to which they can obtain access. But these things are becoming more and more rare. An effeminate civilization is encroaching, and the noble tobacco squirter, like his noble brother the muscular apostle, is gradually crowded to the frontiers, or left to those Arcadian spots of unsophisti cated nature which the traveler finds among river men, roustabouts, half-breed Indians, or at Confederate Cross Boads, Kentucky. Very soon, we fear, a mawk. inh effeminacy will banish tobacco squirm ing from parlors, dining rooms and the more pretentious places of public resort and the ability to squirt a half pint of fragrant ., juice post a lady's face without disturbing her ' equanimity her enamel, (if she will only hold (till,) will have become a lost art. Already, as we have said, it is held to be unparliamentary and nngentlemanlike in aome quarters, for members to smoke dur ing their attendance upon the sittings of deliberative body. Our Board of Educa tion shows no such enueamishness. It eeema, from the account of our impartial and accurate reporter, that gentlemen of tha Board are accustomed to smoke, lounge round, repose on sofas, and enjoy themseleis in the most free-spirited and independent manner, during the sittings of tho Board. This ii what we should have expected of them, from the mani festations of devotion to muscle, which we have already noted. It is an accessory be longing to the period, so to speak. The youth of the city should stndy then things, and should model their little affairs upon then great example They Aoald demand the right to chaw wax ad tmnke cornstalk eigare during school hours. They should sit with their hats on their heads and their heels on their desks. If they want to lie down, the public should furnish lounges or re clining chairs. They should show their disrespect for each other and for the authorities of. the school in every possible manner it is the only way to assert one's manhood. There is a line of conduct towards females which is part of the same general system, and whtcn win readily - suggest itself to boys well grounded in the principles of independr enoe and robust manhood, though we are left without examples in this department from the head of our educational system, at present. No scholar can fail to see, how ever, that it uobby taices nis cuewing wax out of hia mouth and lays it on his desk, Buster should order him to remove it, in the most offensive manner he can assume: Bobby must tell Buster, "I will do it when I get ready," or "Kiss my foot," or something of the sort. Then Buster must bounce Bobby, and they mtstpile in for a regular scratch, gouge, hairpulling exercise. As it is their duty to be independent of every thing, they will be ' independent of even the rules of the prize ring, and will strike below the belt, hit when down, pull hair,- or do anything else of a hostile nature that comes handy. The rest of the school will or will not interfere, according to their individual views, and the fight ought to be renewed every ten minutes until school closcx. If our boys will only follow tho example of their superior officers, and do these things, we may hope for a revival of the good old times such as the wildest dreamer never yet imagined possible. ' We are truly shocked to find in the Cincinnati Commercial a letter replying to an editorial pf the Gazette, as follows : Thin article could not have been writ ten by the "truly good" Deacon Richard, but is evidently the work of his wicked partner, Borneo Heed esq. The Deacon is too good a man to be a hypocrite. The Deacon drinks, and in the old-fashioned way, and yet he is a citizen beyond re proach. Daily tne ueaoon goes . on 'Change." After remaining there a few minutes he passes into Ellis's saloon, next door, and takes his drink; he then returns to 'Uiange, and snoruy comes oui uuu passes into the saloon next east of Ellis's, nmi taltpa his drink. In a short time he passes around on Walnut street, to the Gibson House,' and takes another social drink; then crosses over to Meiningcr's, on the east side of Walnut street, and takes another drink, and from there goes to Cavagna's, on Fifth street, where he gets a little lunch, which he washes down generally with a glass of ale. At all the otner places ne uuuunuiy urmwi W therefore know that the editor in chief of the Gazette must read such articles in his paper with extreme regret. The evil-minded partners must bo pun ished. ' -' - - STATE NEWS. The old-time corn huskings are coming into vogue again.

ACTION OF MASONIC LODGES IN UEOAItD TO A REPORTED OUTRAGE. New York, Nov. 19. Owing to a statement contained in a letter from Havana that on the night of the 7th inst,when news of the Virginius affair reached Santiago, Spanish volunteers, in fiendish exultation over their triumph, visited widows of Masons shot in 1868 and brutally outraged the helpless women, that in the struggle four were killed, that neven have since died, and several are in such a dangerous condition that they cannot possibly recover, a petition circulated in this city is being signed generally by Masters of Masonic lodges in New York and Past Masters of lodges residing here, calling for an emergent session of the Grand Lodge of the State to take such action as may be necessary. Similar action of the Masonic fraternity is being taken in New Jersey and Massachusetts.

American Criticism. SECRETARY RICHARDSON'S VIEWS. Washington, Nov. 19. Secretary Richardson, in conversation with a representative of the Associated Press today, said : "I have every confidence in Secretary Fish. He will do just right, and you may rest assured he will not be carried away by excitement, neither will he yield one bit of national honor." In reference to the ability of the United States to wage successful war with Spain, should it be found necessary to resort to arms, he said: "Should such a course be determined upon, the Treasury Department is fully prepared. We have enough money to begin with, but exactly us to what will lie done afterward, depends on the prolongation of the war, though I have no doubt it would be of short duration; as Congress will be here in two weeks, it is very certain there will be no difficulty in raisingall the means we want. War of course will be expensive, as it requires large sums of money to move armies and fit out ships, but we are equal to the etiieigency." He then asked, "Do you find the Cabinet warlike?" and upon being answered that the sentiment seemed to be to uphold the national honor, ho related that the opinions ot Mr. 1' lsh are correct, and that the Treasury Department is prepared to maintain these opinions. To tho question, "Do 1 understand, Judge, that you are in favor of the annexation of Cuba ?" he answered, after significant silenco : "While 1 don't say what 1 am in favor of, I do say 1 will stand lv Mr. Fish and whatever the State Department does. I believe the Secretary of State is a careful, cautious i...iT: i" i. ..,:n ,t SOU juuiuiuuo umu, miu iju iiwv rsi us into any embarrassment. That is my decided opinion. I have not given much attention to the subject in its present shape. It belongs to the Department of 8tate. I- assume if wo had war with Spain, it would result in the annexation of Cuba." Then the Secretary was asked if the acquisition of that island would not disarrange our tariff system, to which he ro-nlil i At first, of ooone. it would up set everything, as we would lose a large sum of money the first year from Import duties on sugar and tobacoo which we now, receive, but after that our internal collections on these articles, especially on tobacco, would more than compensate for that loss." To the question, "Would it not be necessary to keep a large army of customs officers there?" he answered : "Yes, it would be a great place for smuggling. It would necessitate the establishment of custom houses all along the coast, and as there is such an extent ot coast many persons would have to be employed to guard it." The Secretary was asked if the Depart ment knew officially of the past history of the Virginius. lie replied mat ne aid, tne vessel having been twice owned by the Government. Once she belonged to the division of captured and abandoned property of the Treasury, by which she was sold, and again, in 1870, she was seized at Mobile for debt of the defaulting Assistant Treasurer. She was then ' brought to the Potomac and sold to a man named Patterson. Her name was then the Virgin, but upon being taken to New York, her name was changed to Virginius. "I think the Virginius and the vessel which captured her, the Tornado, were both built on the Clyde by the same builders, for blockade runners during the war. .

The impression is general in official circles here to-day that the Spanish Gov- vernment is disposed to mane every cuort to settle impending troubles, and gentle men who hold intimate personal relations with the President assert their belief that war will not arise from the present coin-plication, inasmuch ns Spain, through Castelar, has given assurance that all proper demands from this Government win ne complied wnu.

The prisoners were turned over to their spiritual advisers, puesto encapilla, at eight in the morning, and shot at four in tho afternoon, giving our priest only eight hours' time to convert the twenty."

MAIL REGULATIONS BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND CUBA., ; The Postoffice Department liaa no official information about the seizure of the United States mails at Havana. It was ascertained at the Department to-day there is no postal connection between the United States and Cuba with regard to the exchange of mails. .About twelve years ago efforts were made by the Government of the United States to effect such an arrangement. After correspondence with the Contain General, who was in favor of it, the matter was referred to the bpanish Government, which seemed to take no interest in it. By law, applica ble to that island, all mails must pass through Havana and other postottices, where, it is not unreasonable to suppose, there are searching examinations as to the character of letters and papers, and that some of litem do not reach persons to whom tuey are addressed.

Tho question which was agitated in the School Board "before the war," Tuesday night, was ns to whether the teacher of music, or any other special teachers, must be provided with a certificate, as regular teachers are. The question is undecided, and there is a difference of opinion as to the meaning of the State law on the subject, which is as follows : Sec. 93. No person shall be employed as a teacher in any common school, unless such person shall have first obtained from a Board of Examiners having competent jurisdiction, or a majority of them, a certificate of good moral character, anil that be or she is qualified to teach orthography, reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, English grammar, and possesses an adequate knowledge of the theory and practice of teaching; and in case such person be required to teach other branches than those herein specified, he or she shall first obtain a certificate of the requisite qualifications, in addition to the branches aforesaid. Sec. 94. And it shall he unlawful for any clerk to draw an order on the treasurer for the payment of a teacher for services, unless said teacher shall have first filed with said clerk a legal certificate of qualification, or a true copy thereof, covering the entire time o' the services for the payment of which such order isdrawn. and the branches which such teacher has taught; provided, that orders may be drawn for special teachers of drawing, painting, penmanship, trusic, gymnastics. or any foreign language, on presentation of a certificate, signed by a maiority of the examiners, covering the time lor which ssid special teacher has been employed.A Kiift-jtcKifliin as to ihe Poor.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY Viceebs is the matter with the Cincinnati papers T Book notices and various other editorial matter on second page this morning. The Allen-Hogan mill and the Loving-Wirth mill appear sido.by side in the Cincinnati papers. ' The Toledo Blade has a terrible European correspondent, who unloads three columns at a time, and is nearly as dull aa the Gazette's Pilgrim. TWEED is at laBi conyicieu anu bcu-tenced, notwithstanding the pathetic appeals of his counsel, and the sympathy dodge, and everything elso that craft or skill could suggest. . Lee & Bhepard, Boston, announce a new Novel by a new author a gentleman of considerable prominence in Hamilton county politics D. Thew Wright esq., of the Cincinnati bar. His book is called "Mrs. Armington's Ward , or the Inferior Sex." ; The Cincinnati Commercial goads the Toledo Blade to madness, perhaps unintentionally, with this paragraph: Ttin "mnrvelniu orowth" of Columbus and Indianapolis is attracting the attention of the country. "Cheap coal" in the vitalizer of those cities. We have a number of .letters, from esti. mable cititens, some very peppery, on the Loving-Wirth fight in the Board of M cation. We do not see that anything more is needed as an expression of public indignation, at present. The matter is in danger of occupying more space than is comfortable or proper, for matter of that character. . The widow of Edwin M. Stanton died, Tnesdav. at the suburban Villa near Washington presented to her by subscriptions after her husband's death. Mrs, Stanton's attachment to her husband was of an unusually tender and affectionate character, and she has never recovered entirely from the shock of his death. Edwin L. Stanton, the surviving son and representative of the family, is a promi' nent member of the Washington bar. - The Toledo Blade says : The Columbus Sunday News claims that that city is overrun witn loaiers, aeau beats and mechanics out of work, who have been drawn there from distant cities bv leading" the State Journal's article on the prosperity of Columbus. The News, as a verdant truth-teller, is a thorn in the side of the State Journal. We assure the dead beat of the Blade that the "verdant truth-teller" of the News is mistaken. The loafers and dead beats of distant cities are not subscribers to the State Journal, to any great extent.We have often said that The Christian Union Henry Ward Beecber's paper is the eery bett weekly paper we have ever read what can we say more? When we began saying it, The Christian Union had less than two dozen subscribers at the Columbus postoffice now it has the larjett lilt of any pMieaium rtcmnd for ditlribv-(ion by mail at tint ofiee. Which, we take it, is pretty good evidence of two things 1. That the paper is what we have stated it to be ; and 2. That our statements on the subject have been credited by towns men, as at least candid statements of opinion.

It 1b a fine thing for the rising genera-tion that we Have In on Sohool Board some gentlemen who uphold and Illustrate the forms of that mere robust'eivili-zattori which once prevailed ltf the West andtSouthwest, and which is gradually losing its hold npo our enervated and effeminate people. In earlier times, in most Western and Southwestern villages, there was an apoBile of muscle, who kept alive that feeling of respect for manly: strength and masoullne vigor, without which nations sink into indolenoe, luxury and effeminacy. This apostle "was expected at all times to be ready to Bite,gou8ei knock down and drag out any presumptuous individual who came among our forefathers with any of that air of what is bo accurately and characteristically described by Mr. Sparkler as "bigodd nonsense." Our forefathers wouldn't stand any "bigodd nonsense," from interlopers who sought to introduce among them any new fangled notions from the outside world. If any such came among them, " putting on airs," the apostle was expected to take him in hand and dress him down to a proper level. In every southwestern community one would find this fine old gentleman of the olden time, roaring up and down the public streets with his shirt open and his manly breast (all hairy with virile strength) thrown out to public contemplation, as he champed and pawed and howled up and down the streets for somebody to "whale" some Cellar with stuck up notions to be shook out of him some "derned bluebellied Yankee" or other peddler of enervating book Iarnin, whose viscera (if our effeminate modern read ers will excuse us, they called them in those days, "guts,") the apostle could tear out and scatter over his infernal deed blanked doubledeed and superhyperblank-ed carcass. Such a noble old specimen of incarnate muscular force and energy as this could not fail to keep before the youth of the time the necessity and beauty of physical development, and create in their minds a popular scorn for such weak and effeminate things as politeness, courtesy, intellectual development, and the like. It might have involved a suspicion of weakness for our apostolic muscular friend to have been polite to anybody it would have shown a disposition to " knuckle down" which he would have scorned as worthy only a member of some of the learned professions, It is this noble being and this robust civilization which we are indebted to some members of the School Board for reviving and keeping alive among us, lor tne con templation of the youth of the city. And we must do these gentlemen the justice to say that they do not show any disposition to stop halfway in the renaissance.. They Hive u me gcueral manners end customs, as well as the muscular manifestations, proper to the period. There is a notion abroad at the present period that it is inv polite and ungentlemanliko to smoke in a parliamentary body, during the progress of business. There are some who even go to far as to object to the right of a free citizen to chew and to sputate wherever he chooses, - In olden times, in that' part of "Qoddlemlghty's green earth" we have been speaking of (one falls insensibly into the style of the period in speaking of it) it would have been considered the deadliest insult to in timate any sense of uneasiness or displeas ure with any gentleman who squirted his tobacco juice past your eyes, nose, mduth or ear, or on your floors, in your dining room at table, over your wife's best dress, or wherever his royal will determine. It was a point of honor to be able to bit the mark with a well directed discharge of half a bucketful, at a distance of sev eral yards. As an admirerof tho good old times, it Is due Irotn us to say in favor of the present, that there are still gentlemen among ns who exercise some pf these gifts in ordinary public places, and who make it as much as a dress is worth for any of the weaker sex to appear there, This is a proper manifestation of man's royal prerogative which cannot but give great satixfaction to all real genuine lovers of the good old times. There are still gentlemen who have, enough of the old contempt for weak things to continue chewing and making manly slops and pools of odorous saliva, by the tubful, not only in all places ot public entertain. ment, whether for man or beast, but in all parlors and places of private resort to which they can obtain access. But these things are becoming more and more rare. An effeminate civilization is encroaching, and the noble tobacco squirter, like his noble brother the muscular apostle, is gradually crowded to the frontiers, or left to those Arcadian spots of unsophisti cated nature which the traveler finds among river men, roustabouts, half-breed Indians, or at Confederate Cross Boads, Kentucky. Very soon, we fear, a mawk. inh effeminacy will banish tobacco squirm ing from parlors, dining rooms and the more pretentious places of public resort and the ability to squirt a half pint of fragrant ., juice post a lady's face without disturbing her ' equanimity her enamel, (if she will only hold (till,) will have become a lost art. Already, as we have said, it is held to be unparliamentary and nngentlemanlike in aome quarters, for members to smoke dur ing their attendance upon the sittings of deliberative body. Our Board of Educa tion shows no such enueamishness. It eeema, from the account of our impartial and accurate reporter, that gentlemen of tha Board are accustomed to smoke, lounge round, repose on sofas, and enjoy themseleis in the most free-spirited and independent manner, during the sittings of tho Board. This ii what we should have expected of them, from the mani festations of devotion to muscle, which we have already noted. It is an accessory be longing to the period, so to speak. The youth of the city should stndy then things, and should model their little affairs upon then great example They Aoald demand the right to chaw wax ad tmnke cornstalk eigare during school hours. They should sit with their hats on their heads and their heels on their desks. If they want to lie down, the public should furnish lounges or re clining chairs. They should show their disrespect for each other and for the authorities of. the school in every possible manner it is the only way to assert one's manhood. There is a line of conduct towards females which is part of the same general system, and whtcn win readily - suggest itself to boys well grounded in the principles of independr enoe and robust manhood, though we are left without examples in this department from the head of our educational system, at present. No scholar can fail to see, how ever, that it uobby taices nis cuewing wax out of hia mouth and lays it on his desk, Buster should order him to remove it, in the most offensive manner he can assume: Bobby must tell Buster, "I will do it when I get ready," or "Kiss my foot," or something of the sort. Then Buster must bounce Bobby, and they mtstpile in for a regular scratch, gouge, hairpulling exercise. As it is their duty to be independent of every thing, they will be ' independent of even the rules of the prize ring, and will strike below the belt, hit when down, pull hair,- or do anything else of a hostile nature that comes handy. The rest of the school will or will not interfere, according to their individual views, and the fight ought to be renewed every ten minutes until school closcx. If our boys will only follow tho example of their superior officers, and do these things, we may hope for a revival of the good old times such as the wildest dreamer never yet imagined possible. ' We are truly shocked to find in the Cincinnati Commercial a letter replying to an editorial pf the Gazette, as follows : Thin article could not have been writ ten by the "truly good" Deacon Richard, but is evidently the work of his wicked partner, Borneo Heed esq. The Deacon is too good a man to be a hypocrite. The Deacon drinks, and in the old-fashioned way, and yet he is a citizen beyond re proach. Daily tne ueaoon goes . on 'Change." After remaining there a few minutes he passes into Ellis's saloon, next door, and takes his drink; he then returns to 'Uiange, and snoruy comes oui uuu passes into the saloon next east of Ellis's, nmi taltpa his drink. In a short time he passes around on Walnut street, to the Gibson House,' and takes another social drink; then crosses over to Meiningcr's, on the east side of Walnut street, and takes another drink, and from there goes to Cavagna's, on Fifth street, where he gets a little lunch, which he washes down generally with a glass of ale. At all the otner places ne uuuunuiy urmwi W therefore know that the editor in chief of the Gazette must read such articles in his paper with extreme regret. The evil-minded partners must bo pun ished. ' -' - - STATE NEWS. The old-time corn huskings are coming into vogue again.

American Criticism. SECRETARY RICHARDSON'S VIEWS. Washington, Nov. 19. Secretary Richardson, in conversation with a representative of the Associated Press today, said : "I have every confidence in Secretary Fish. He will do just right, and you may rest assured he will not be carried away by excitement, neither will he yield one bit of national honor." In reference to the ability of the United States to wage successful war with Spain, should it be found necessary to resort to arms, he said: "Should such a course be determined upon, the Treasury Department is fully prepared. We have enough money to begin with, but exactly us to what will lie done afterward, depends on the prolongation of the war, though I have no doubt it would be of short duration; as Congress will be here in two weeks, it is very certain there will be no difficulty in raisingall the means we want. War of course will be expensive, as it requires large sums of money to move armies and fit out ships, but we are equal to the etiieigency." He then asked, "Do you find the Cabinet warlike?" and upon being answered that the sentiment seemed to be to uphold the national honor, ho related that the opinions ot Mr. 1' lsh are correct, and that the Treasury Department is prepared to maintain these opinions. To tho question, "Do 1 understand, Judge, that you are in favor of the annexation of Cuba ?" he answered, after significant silenco : "While 1 don't say what 1 am in favor of, I do say 1 will stand lv Mr. Fish and whatever the State Department does. I believe the Secretary of State is a careful, cautious i...iT: i" i. ..,:n ,t SOU juuiuiuuo umu, miu iju iiwv rsi us into any embarrassment. That is my decided opinion. I have not given much attention to the subject in its present shape. It belongs to the Department of 8tate. I- assume if wo had war with Spain, it would result in the annexation of Cuba." Then the Secretary was asked if the acquisition of that island would not disarrange our tariff system, to which he ro-nlil i At first, of ooone. it would up set everything, as we would lose a large sum of money the first year from Import duties on sugar and tobacoo which we now, receive, but after that our internal collections on these articles, especially on tobacco, would more than compensate for that loss." To the question, "Would it not be necessary to keep a large army of customs officers there?" he answered : "Yes, it would be a great place for smuggling. It would necessitate the establishment of custom houses all along the coast, and as there is such an extent ot coast many persons would have to be employed to guard it." The Secretary was asked if the Depart ment knew officially of the past history of the Virginius. lie replied mat ne aid, tne vessel having been twice owned by the Government. Once she belonged to the division of captured and abandoned property of the Treasury, by which she was sold, and again, in 1870, she was seized at Mobile for debt of the defaulting Assistant Treasurer. She was then ' brought to the Potomac and sold to a man named Patterson. Her name was then the Virgin, but upon being taken to New York, her name was changed to Virginius. "I think the Virginius and the vessel which captured her, the Tornado, were both built on the Clyde by the same builders, for blockade runners during the war. .

MAIL REGULATIONS BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND CUBA., ; The Postoffice Department liaa no official information about the seizure of the United States mails at Havana. It was ascertained at the Department to-day there is no postal connection between the United States and Cuba with regard to the exchange of mails. .About twelve years ago efforts were made by the Government of the United States to effect such an arrangement. After correspondence with the Contain General, who was in favor of it, the matter was referred to the bpanish Government, which seemed to take no interest in it. By law, applica ble to that island, all mails must pass through Havana and other postottices, where, it is not unreasonable to suppose, there are searching examinations as to the character of letters and papers, and that some of litem do not reach persons to whom tuey are addressed. Commercial letters are permitted to be sent from Ha vana to the Lulled Mates without Uov-ernment control. The Postoffice Depart. ment has concluded partial postal card arrangements with Ueraiany. i LpNGSTREET OTTERS AN ARMY CORPS. A letter was received in this city today from Gen.

Tho question which was agitated in the School Board "before the war," Tuesday night, was ns to whether the teacher of music, or any other special teachers, must be provided with a certificate, as regular teachers are. The question is undecided, and there is a difference of opinion as to the meaning of the State law on the subject, which is as follows : Sec. 93. No person shall be employed as a teacher in any common school, unless such person shall have first obtained from a Board of Examiners having competent jurisdiction, or a majority of them, a certificate of good moral character, anil that be or she is qualified to teach orthography, reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, English grammar, and possesses an adequate knowledge of the theory and practice of teaching; and in case such person be required to teach other branches than those herein specified, he or she shall first obtain a certificate of the requisite qualifications, in addition to the branches aforesaid. Sec. 94. And it shall he unlawful for any clerk to draw an order on the treasurer for the payment of a teacher for services, unless said teacher shall have first filed with said clerk a legal certificate of qualification, or a true copy thereof, covering the entire time o' the services for the payment of which such order isdrawn. and the branches which such teacher has taught; provided, that orders may be drawn for special teachers of drawing, painting, penmanship, trusic, gymnastics. or any foreign language, on presentation of a certificate, signed by a maiority of the examiners, covering the time lor which ssid special teacher has been employed.A Kiift-jtcKifliin as to ihe Poor.
